The coronavirus pandemic started a worldwide emergency, and tight preventive actions were necessary to protect the population, changing individuals' daily habits. Dwelling and working at home can change dietary habits, affect food choice and access, as well as the practice of physical activity. In this regard, this study's goal was to compare eating competence (EC) among Brazilian adults before and during the coronavirus pandemic, using the Brazilian version of the eating competence Satter inventory (ecSI2.0™BR) with the "retrospective post-then-pre" design. This cross-sectional study was performed from 30 April to 31 May 2021 among a convenience sample of the Brazilian adult population using an online platform (Google Forms). In the studied sample ( = 302 in which 76.82% were females), EC total score lowered during the pandemic (31.69 ± 8.26 vs. 29.99 ± 9.72; < 0.005), and the decrease was worst after the beginning of the pandemic among those who reported weight gain, decreased the consumption of fruit and vegetables, and increased the consumption of sugary beverages. The contextual skill component seems relevant in this scenario, where our life and routines were changed entirely, demonstrating that the ability to manage the food context is essential, especially when sanitary and economic situations represent a new challenge.
新冠疫情引发了全球紧急状况，采取严格的预防措施来保护民众是必要的，这改变了个人的日常习惯。居家居住和工作会改变饮食习惯，影响食物选择和获取，以及体育活动的开展。在这方面，本研究的目标是采用“回顾性后测-前测”设计，使用巴西版的饮食能力萨特量表（ecSI2.0™BR），比较巴西成年人在新冠疫情之前和期间的饮食能力（EC）。这项横断面研究于2021年4月30日至5月31日在巴西成年人群的便利样本中进行，通过在线平台（谷歌表单）。在所研究的样本（n = 302，其中76.82%为女性）中，疫情期间EC总分降低（31.69 ± 8.26对29.99 ± 9.72；P < 0.005），在报告体重增加、水果和蔬菜摄入量减少以及含糖饮料摄入量增加的人群中，疫情开始后下降最为明显。在我们的生活和日常完全改变的这种情况下，情境技能部分似乎很重要，这表明管理食物环境的能力至关重要，尤其是在卫生和经济状况带来新挑战的时候。
